Uly Pupdate, Autumn 2024

This has been a long and strange year. Through all the ups and downs, one of the constant highlights has been our newest family member, our sheepadoodle, Ulysses. I introduced him back in May, and then our chaotic 2024 summer happened. As autumn settles in and things have quieted down, I realized last night that it has been far too long since I shared a Uly update—or a pupdate. Let’s rectify that!

Uly is now seven months old, smart as a whip, and perpetually silly. He’s learned a lot and has doubled in size, but he doesn’t understand how big he’s gotten. We’re still working through typical puppy issues (not listening) and big-dog puppy issues (counter-surfing). But he’s getting better and better. He’s gotten good with a leash. He loves “helping” in the garden, and he’s discovered a love of fruit. (Figs in particular.) He’s figuring it out but very much entering his teenage years. It’s challenging at times, but overall pretty dang fun, puppy energy is a needed addition around here. You can click on each picture for more details.
